E206- Extra Ordinary Feats with Addison's Disease - Kevin's Story


Listen Later

Kevin's journey with ADDISON'S DISEASE starting at day 1 is far from typical.

Everything from his symptoms to diagnosis and the amazing things he has accomplished since diagnosis Kevin will leave you re-evaluating your disease management, leave you with a list of questions for your medical team and have you setting higher standards for your quality of life.
While most diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency fight for years with medical doctors not recognizing the symptoms, Kevin was fortunate enough to have an endocrinologist who quickly did a complete series of tests, including the ACTH stimulation test and discovered this UNWELL man had ADDISON'S DISEASE.
It was a 10-year progression of a slow decline in health as exercise recovery time increased, daily living became a struggle and Kevin's "LIFE GOT SMALL"
Having led a full active lifestyle with regular exercise, Kevin and his new wife started a slow and steady process of learning how to manage his medication with his active levels.
Disease management, planning, proper recovery, and common sense built Kevin's confidence to accomplish amazing things with Addison's Disease. Kevin is now in his mid-50s and with a supportive wife runs marathons.
